It’s honestly terrible that thousands of Palestinians can die and noone gives a fuck, but 1 Australian and all of a sudden Australia is outraged. I say this as an Australian as well.

If Biden loses to Trump because people won’t vote for Biden or would vote for Trump instead then Americans deserve Trump because he actually represents them. Just in case it’s not clear, if the majority of people are morons, don’t be surprised if a moron wins the election.

It’s a hard call at end of day. If you want it to all be privacy respecting and open source and decentralised then you’re almost guaranteeing you won’t make money from it.

The alternative is ad based software that’s free which is also garbage.

Hard to find the balance between the two, can’t think of many examples if any that actually work besides just making a paid product that’s very good and hope it’s better enough than the rest to be successful. But even then you likely will have to cross lines because you’re just relying on viral luck at that stage.

People are missing the forest for the trees but you are right.

If Republicans force this through on every bill then at some point it would have to pass. You can’t just shut down the US government indefinitely in the real world.

Cheers.

Sync didn’t use ro have ads (or maybe I was blocking them successfully) but now it does. So will try something else as fuck ads.

I’m curious, do you use this on mobile or are you talking about a desktop experience?

Personally I find more ads on something like Sync on mobile than I did on Reddit which I can block, but I am now forced to use the Reddit desktop site.

OP doesn’t understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

Who gets banned from Reddit as a whole though?

You’d have to literally be posting child porn or something.

Or is this just a conceptual argument that doesn’t actually mean anything in reality?

Not sure I understand tbh. Seems exactly the same?

You get banned in a reddit community you can’t access it, you get banned in a lemmy community you can’t access it.

I’ve been banned from reddit communities and can still access reddit. If you’ve been banned from Reddit completely you must have done some terrible shit.

In your example, you’re also suggesting a transphobic person has more scope on Lemmy to continue being transphobic than on Reddit. That’s not a good thing?

I am quite confused by your post tbh.

Just be aware Lemmy has its own share of issues and extremist views. It’s not as simple as Reddit is evil and Lemmy is good, both have their pros and cons at end of day and realistically they both probably have a role to play for people.

PSVR - fun for a week but otherwise useless.

I’m in the same boat as you. It’s a waste of time for me, but others seem to need it.

It’s worth noting I have autism though. So social interactions don’t do much for me.

Yeah, there’s some heavy hopium in this discussion. “What if Linux has exponential growth forever, 40% every quarter?” type garbage.

It’s frustrating how easy boomers had it yet how many still seemed to screw up their finances. I am significantly more financially literate than many I know yet I will never see the stupid returns they did on things.

And this guy is a frontrunner for president in the USA. Lol what a fucked up country.

It’s just as popular as ever if not more so…

Do you know how most viruses and Trojans work? Because I can guarantee they don’t just show up on your computer magically.

Lol. Musk keeps showing that he’s a moron and if you’re still a fan of Tesla and buying their cars then it’s on you for throwing your money away.

Great!

This is a fair reply, but it sounds like we’re both on the same page. Yes, both parties have their own issues but saying they’re the same isn’t correct. If you’re in a position of picking between them then clearly one side is less corrupt than the other.
